It's a "bad situation" because he made it one :heh:

He was brought here and giftwrapped a starting spot, with Ainge hoping he would be able to showcase him for a trade. He started all through preseason and through the first 3 or 4 games in the season but got sent to the bench because of how awful he was.

It has little to do with Stevens wanting to play bigs who shoot 3's. Last year he started Brandon Bass & Tyler Zeller, neither shoot 3's. This year he opened the season up with Lee & Zeller, neither shoot 3's. Amir Johnson has been starting for the vast majority of the season and if we're calling him a stretch big then the standards are extremely low.


Amir and Zeller are both better than Olynyk and Jerebko and at least in Amirs case can be a passable defender some nights....

You trying to change the narrative of this topic B...IM not a Lee fan but its stupid to say he cant play cuz of two fukkn bums that arent any better regardless of matchup....

LeBron is known as the ultimate team guy yet he never did nothing like that for his guys after a championship. And if you were calling me the fakkit god bless you. I took you off ignore hoping you would be a more logical poster in 2016, hopefully I'm right.
So of all the players you just happened to pick Bron:martin:

If I said Kobe someone would say he isn't known for giving a fukk about his teammates. Contrary to your belief and Stannery, I don't really give a fukk about LeBron like that. If you're looking for a LeBron hater to go back and forth with you barked at the wrong star.

I've been to two Celtics games this season, against the bulls and hawks. Lee played about 10-15 minutes in both (approximately). He does a nice job on the offensive end, and can get a better shot off when he has the ball in the post. Defensively, like you guys have said, I guess he's a downgrade.

Olynyk is visibly better, and can shoot from outside and 3. Jerekbo is a worse version of olynyk, he didn't do shyt in the games I was at except brick 3s. I guess if Stevens wants his bigs to have the ability to play on the perimeter he'll stick with jerekbo

This sounds just like Dwane Casey when he tells reporters James Johnson cant get mins cuz Terrence Thot and they trying to play small despite repeated 1/8 FG nights with atrocious defensive miscues...

Lee has not performed better than Olynyk on either end. Just like his entire career, stats do not tell the whole story when it comes to David Lee.

Jerebko is trash and shouldn't be playing. But neither should Lee. I'd prefer if they were both waived.

Like I said before, you will be hard-pressed to find Celtic fans that are upset with Lee being benched

If I was a LeBron hater I would've rubbed every LeBron and Cavs fans nose in manure last June but I didn't. If I was the shytty a$$hole poster that you tried to frame me as I would've made a thread shytting on the Cavs for losing but I didn't. I sat back and let your anger proliferate on its own. Now I can tell you have a nice day and steam will be coming out of your ears because you know what happened, I don't even have to talk shyt about LeBron or his fans. My squad on top, I'm not hating on anybody.

I dont understand how Lee can be completely gone from a rotation in favor of Jerebko and Olynyk...Are they so great that David Lee cant sniff ANY minutes ? None of them are great defenders,are Olynyk and Jerebko such favorable matchups offensively he cant see the floor...Of course they arent they both fukkn stink...Which is why hes pissed.
This. There is a difference between getting benched for Draymond Green over getting benched for Kelly Olynyk and Jonas Jerebko :skip:

David Lee has to be better than those guys and at worst the 2nd best big on the team...unless his skills vaporized after his injuries last year. But even in the Finals he looked like he could still play.

You're proving my point, people can see which one of us is angry and which one started talking shyt. Here's something I learned, you can't be this angry on messageboards and be happy in real life. I say that to say your beef is with the man in the mirror and not me, if you were getting laid regularly you wouldn't be so mad and barking at me. Enjoy your day sir, no need to reply, I refuse to argue with you :smugbiden:
